Taking Life

It's so hard to make an effort
 To keep my surroundings in line
 When sometimes, I can't do it for myself
 I confess, I'm not the man I proclaim
 My feet, my feet are sinking
 Into the mire beneath me
 The mire, the mire beneath me
 I can't help but notice the endless battle for air
 While being swept by the tides of complacency
 My knowledge is accountability
 And I have to do something, I have to do something
 Blinded by the plank in my eye
 I cannot guide anyone
 I have to do something
 I have to do something
 This lonely vessel
 Is surely sinking
 I'm surely sinking
 I'm surely sinking
 I'm surely sinking
 Take me back
 If it means they die to themselves
 Only to raise up their new lives
 Stop me in my tracks if it will shake them
 Stop, stop me
 Stop me
 We are nothing without each other
